How to Properly Report Issues to Trust & Safety

In order to investigate issues which have been reported to us, we require the following information in the report:

User ID: The 17 or 18-digit ID of the user you are reporting, which is not the Discord Username+Tag. A username can be changed, where a User ID can't.

Message Link: The link to the message you are reporting. If you're reporting a lot of messages, a sample of message links in a conversation is sufficient.

Server ID: If you're reporting a server, please also provide the server ID.

To get this information, you'll need to first enable Developer mode:

1. Enabling Developer Mode

Go to User Settings-> Appearance and turn on Developer Mode

2. Obtaining IDs

After you've enabled Developer Mode, you can grab the information needed. The process is slightly different, depending on the ID's that you need.

Obtaining User IDs

For the User ID, right-click the user's username. You should see the last item on the drop-down menu: 'Copy ID'. Click this to get the ID. It should look like this:

Obtaining the Message Link

To get the Message Link, click on the 3 dots to the far right of the message.You will see an option to Copy Link.

Messages Deleted? If the messages or content you are reporting have already been deleted, we unfortunately are not able to retrieve the content. Once it’s deleted, the content is gone and there is no record of it. This means that while you are still welcome to submit a report, Trust and Safety will have a significantly more difficult time investigating and there is no guarantee that action will be taken against a violation.

Obtaining Server IDs

For Server ID, right-click the Server name above the channel list. Click Copy ID to get the ID. It should look like this:
